Owen Williams

Owen Williams grew up in Whitehorse. An early interest in lettering led him to train in England, first carving letters in stone and later as a calligrapher. He has taught children of all ages through the Artist in the School Program, the City of Whitehorse Department of Recreation and through the Yukon Arts Ed-Venture Program.
